Erntedankfest - October
Erntedank in Pomerania was comparable to the United States' Thanksgiving with Ernte (meaning harvest) and Dank (meaning thanks). However, the Pomeranian Erntedank was usually held on the last Sunday in September at the end of the harvesting season. There were ceremonial rituals connected to the festival, such as, the making of the Alte - an old man made of straw, the decorating of their tools, the wearing of the Erntekrone (crown), and the wearing of their Trachten (native dress). The Pommerscher Verein Freistadt's Erntedank revives this great old custom of our ancestors annually in their honor. The PVF Erntedankfest includes a potluck dinner, good company, musical entertainment, a parade and decorated garden tools.
